Absolutely AMAZING!!!

Nimoh is such a breath of fresh air. She was extremely kind, informative and handled our experience with such love and care. This was the first activity of our Kenya trip and she set the bar. Incredibly grateful to have met her and indulge in the Kenyan food culture. This wasn’t a 10/10 experience. More like 100/10!!!!

Excellent way to see...

Excellent way to see Nairobi way of living when it comes to the produce and meat markets, public transportation and dealing with traffic as well as opportunity to prepare and eat an authentic Kenyan meal using all local and fresh ingredients.

Fully sated and blessed.

I wasn’t sure what to expect being our second day in Nairobi which has been a little overwhelming, however Nimoh expertly took us under her wing and we had the best experience. Visiting the market and butcher to buy fresh and ripe produce was a highlight. Being welcomed into Nimoh’s home for the cooking class and resultant feast was an absolute privilege. The food was simple and delicious. Made with passion and tradition. Highly recommend cooking with Nimoh.

Yummy!

We had a wonderful time! The market tour was informative and fun, Nimo knew a lot of the vendors so there was a lot of interaction. The local bus ride was awesome - first time on a bus like that. Once we were at her home the cooking class taught us new techniques and the food was yummy. So glad we picked this tour!

This experience was wonderful. Nimoh is a gifted instructor who made the whole experience very positive. She communicated prior to the class with an informative email. The shopping experience at the market was very informative and gave a glimpse into the life of a Kenyan. We learned how to prepare a traditional meal with everyone given a chance to participate. We then enjoyed the meal and learned about Kenyan wedding traditions. I would recommend this experience to everyone!
